The Benefits of Liposuction
Imagine enjoying a slimmer look and finally ridding yourself of those stubborn pockets of fat that won't respond to diet or exercise. Our liposuction patients are able to achieve these results and more. In addition to the physical benefits, liposuction also can help you feel more comfortable in clothing and enhance your body image. Liposuction recovery is quick for most patients and this procedure permanently removes fat cells, meaning you can maintain your slimmer appearance indefinitely.
People considering liposuction often choose to have the procedure as part of another surgical treatment, such as a tummy tuck or breast augmentation. If you are considering combining procedures, your surgeon can talk with you about the benefits, including having to plan for only one recovery period.
Your Liposuction Procedure
With the advent of ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), standard liposuction is rapidly becoming a secondary technique in the field. In order to get the best results, our surgeons often combine ultrasonic liposuction with standard liposuction in the same procedure. After UAL breaks up fat cells, the surgeon uses standard liposuction to remove any remaining fat cells.
Liposuction after Massive Weight Loss
People who have lost weight - small or large amounts - may find that their new body shape is not in perfect proportion. Certain areas of the body, such as the stomach or the thighs, are genetically predisposed to hold on isolated pockets of fat. Unfortunately, spot exercising does not help this either. Liposuction is often performed in conjunction with post weight loss plastic surgery to help your body become better proportioned. By focusing on your individual problem areas, liposuction can give you the physique you want, despite genetics or stubborn problem areas.
